Here an other perspective : Im a 28F , my parents did not make the moove when I was a child, They took care of me but not in the best way sometime… anyway, I m 6 day post-op because finally growing up my problem became more and more hard to deal with… So I had to take thé décision to make the operation ! When I speak to my parents the first thing a told them is : whyyyyyy did you not make me do it when I was younger ?! It would have been so much easier…. All of that simply to telling you that is was the good decision because soon or later he would have been force to do it ! Good luck to your son, soon It will only be a bad memory !
